Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> February 13 , 2003 <br /> Approved March 13, 2003 <br /> Wilson states that in the solid waste management plan that is included, and the 10 -year <br /> plan assumes expansion of curbside recycling to universal or near universal coverage in <br /> the county . <br /> Vickers asks if it' s possible to look at two fees . One for solid waste disposal and one for <br /> recycling . <br /> Rehm states that I thought we wanted to avoid that . <br /> Sassaman states that there are three different types of services in the county — urban <br /> curbside, rural curbside and all the rest . It shouldn' t be too difficult to break the base <br /> fee for residential into three levels depending on the type of service you receive . <br /> Visser states that there is a difference between sanitary districts and what is presented <br /> on the map provided by the GIS staff of service districts . The map indicates a tax model <br /> not a fee model . The map breaks out recycling services provided in the county — those <br /> that have access to recycling centers and receive urban curbside service ( green) , those <br /> who have access to recycling centers and receive rural curbside service (brown) , those <br /> that have access to recycling centers only (white ) . A service district is based on tax . <br /> You would need to create more than one service district . One of the findings the board <br /> of commissioners has to reach is that it ' s impossible to provide services on a county <br /> wide basis . So you ' d have to make some kind of distinction to have more than one <br /> district . <br /> Vickers asks if having part of Chapel Hill in Durham County would create <br /> complications as far as charging an availability fee to another county . <br /> Sassaman states that maybe Chapel Hill could collect the money from Durham County . <br /> That is sort of a procedural thing and shouldn' t be a showstopper for anything we say <br /> here . <br /> Tipton asks that looking at the map what would it take to expand the brown zone ? <br /> What about the commercial level of service ? <br /> Visser states that regarding your first questions the statute lays out the ground rule for <br /> service [ districts] and expanding or consolidating them . In this case service would <br /> determine the district . You would change boundaries only once a year . Any expanding <br /> of service would happen then . With a service district whether a parcel receives service <br /> or not is immaterial, it' s the boundaries that matter . This would not reflect service to <br /> commercial . You would just pay even if commercial recycling service were not <br /> provided . <br /> 5 <br />
